Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78
Jo Josie had gotten on the bus, and Henry could only watch her leave.
His fingers were trembling. When Josie disappeared from his sight, he seemed to realize something.
“Why do I always comprehend things so slowly? Perhaps I want to keep Josie by my side not because I am paranoid…” Henry mused.
When Samuel asked him if he loved Josie, not only did he hesitate, but he was also scared.
He was more afraid than anyone that he had fallen in love with Josie.
Henry
had been using and controlling Josie from the beginning. He had told himself more than once that as long as the woman was obedient, he would let her live a secure and happy life. He didn’t think he would love her.
However, when Josie boarded the bus and left, he panicked.
Henry had never felt this startled before..
He didn’t know how much Josie had heard, but the despair and indifferent look in her eyes made him quiver.
“Do I love Josie?” he wondered.
On the bus, Josie looked out of the window while breathing heavily, trying to calm herself down.
“I must remain calm. I didn’t hear anything. Let me pretend I didn’t hear that… Henry doesn’t love me and is using me all the time. There’s no doubt that I’m m e n t a l l y prepared, but Samuel… W-What does Henry mean?” Josie questioned deep
down.
Three years ago, she tried to make herself forget the accident. She had been pretending it didn’t happen for the past three years, but she still panicked when the past matter got mentioned again.
“What exactly happened three years ago?” Josie thought.
She recalled that l u n a i c who had coveted her for a long time.
Josie raised her hand and bit her finger hard. She looked out of the window as her vision turned blurry.
She told herself to calm down again.
Josie still remembered during the graduation party that year, all the students gathered together, and that l u n a t i c added something to her wine.
She felt dizzy and went back to the hotel room first.
Then, she vaguely remembered that she took the initiative to hug a person under the influence of alcohol.
Later, she was already in the hospital after she woke up.
Henry stayed with her in the hospital and told her that nothing had happened to her.
Henry also said that he managed to arrive in time, and the l u n a t i c had been arrested by the police.
She felt a little uneasy, but she didn’t ask anything.
Over the years, she had been avoiding this topic.

Chapter 78
Josie was afraid that it would become a stain that would affect her marriage and even her relationship with Henry.
Nonetheless, Henry mentioned that Sammiel was also present.
When Samuel got back to his rented place, he contacted Yuri.
Samuel didn’t go after Josie as he didn’t have the courage.
Looking the house he rented to get close to Josie, Samuel suddenly felt things were rather amusing.
“Did I think I could get closer to Josie by doing this? Now she has found out about everything. She will only hate me even more now,” Samuel thought in his heart.
His fingers had turned numb. Afterward, Samuel turned around and left.
The man felt that everything was over and that Josie would never want to see him again.
“You were drunk last night. Why didn’t I see you when I came to your place?” Nina bought breakfast for Samuel and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
“Nina, please refund the house for me. I’m not renting it anymore…” Samuel responded.
“What’s the matter? This beautiful house has just gotten renovated. You’re rich, but you can’t be so spendthrift,” Nina said helplessly.
“It’s nothing…” Samuel’s voice sounded very weak. He was really sick.
Not only did he catch a cold, but Samuel felt he was sick in the head.
“How despicable am I? I’ve tried so many methods just to get close to Josie,” Samuel scolded himself internally.
“Did you argue with Jo!” Nina asked cautiously. She had never seen her brother so dispirited except during that incident three years ago.
“Nina… Samuel’s voice was trembling as he spoke. “She will never belong to me.”
Nina froze for a long time before sighing. “Don’t do anything that you will regret.”
Three years ago, Samuel almost beat someone to death. The l u n a t i c was already half dead when the police arrested that
man.
The Turner family didn’t know what happened. When they arrived at the scene, Henry was still fighting with Samuel, and the police couldn’t separate them.
Lewis also got furious and chased Samuel out of the country, not allowing him to return home for three years.
Firstly, it was to punish Samuel. Secondly, it was to protect his grandson.
Others didn’t know what had happened, including the l u n a t i c who was knocked out. The latter only realized what had happened after regaining consciousness.
The n a t i c confessed that he followed Josie and monitored the woman all the time during her four years of college. He also admitted that he had drugged her.
It was Josie’s first day working at Clusia Corporation and she was still getting familiar with her job.
“How is today. Jo? Can you adapt to it?” Harley came to see Josie.
Chapter 78
“It’s not bad, I’m looking at the relevant materials. Mr. Finch said that I can try to learn craftsmanship after I’m well-adjusted and have completed the evaluation.” Josie came back to her senses and smiled politely at Harley.
“You look slightly pale. Are you feeling unwell?” Harley was a little worried about Josic.
I’m fine. Thank you.” Josie replied.
Harley nodded and looked at the time. “It’s time to get off work. Go back early and take a rest.”
Josie finally realized that time had passed by so fast.
She was hesitating whether to go home or not.
Samuel lived across the street.
She didn’t know how to face Samuel.
In fact, her memory of that day didn’t disappear from her mind completely. She was extremely insecure. The paralysis of alcohol and the usage of drugs amplified her emotions.

Josie knew clearly that she took the initiative that night, and she regarded the other party as Henry.
Upon waking up, she didn’t remember who the man was. As she was afraid the person might be the l u n a t i c, Josie was unwilling to recall the matter.
After leaving the company. Josie waited while watching the buses come and go. She was trying to evade.
She didn’t know how to face Samuel.
When she got home, it was already dark, and she almost missed the last bus..
“Do you have time, Jo? Let’s talk.” Nina was downstairs, seemingly waiting for her.
“Nina…” Josie felt her heart tighten.
“I’m not here to speak for Samuel. I just want to talk to you about my brother from the perspective of a sister,” Nina. remarked.
Josie clenched her fingers tightly. She couldn’t accept it for a moment.
“Is it about the matter three years ago? Actually, I’ve recalled a little about what happened. He didn’t do anything to me eventually. I know… Josie vaguely remembered that the man stopped at the last moment.
At that time, she thought it was her illusion that the other person didn’t want to hurt her.
“He loves you so much…” Nina smiled bitterly
Samuel admitted that he did have a crush on Josie, and he did want to be with her, but in the end, his sanity kept him sane.
“You got kidnapped ten years ago. In order to save you, he was almost stabbed to death, Nina revealed.
Josie raised her head anxiously and looked at Nina.
She was completely clueless about it.
This matter was not disclosed to her,
“He didn’t allow us to tell you because he was afraid that it would become a psychological burden to you, Nina commented.

Chapter 78
Samuel had been thinking about Josie all the time.
“Do you really not have any feelings for him at all? Nina wanted to see if she could find the exact answer in Josie’s gaze.
If Josie really had no feelings for Sammel, it would be better to take the opportunity to let her brother completely give up his feelings.
Josie lowered he, head, but she remained silent.
“I know you haven’t come out of the last failed marriage, and Samuel also wants to give you some time. As his sister, I can’t say any more.” Nina said while frowning.
Nina continued. “Divorce is a new beginning for women. Don’t let too many things confine you. Nothing is more important than living. Life may be long, but it’s also short, isn’t it?”
Josie bit her lips hard while bobbing her head.
She thought of what Nina said. “Life is short. I have to live for myself.”
“He has fallen sick and is drinking at Morose Entertainment Club. Yuri asked me to pick him up. If you… think the both of you can give it a go, you should pick him up. I promise not to say anything and let you two work the relationship by yourselves. It doesn’t matter whether you two will be together in the future. If you don’t have any feelings for him, then this time. let him give up completely.” Nina shook the keys to the rental apartment. “The surrender of tenancy was decided by
him
Josie’s heart tightened. Her eyes had already turned red.
“What should I choose? Is giving Samuel up the best choice?” she wondered.
